Possible Causes
Evaporator sensor not detecting freeze completion, Ice thickness sensor misadjusted, Control board not initiating harvest, Water flow too high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and allow ice to melt before working near the evaporator.
- Clean sensors: Clean the evaporator temperature sensor and ice thickness probe to ensure accurate readings.
- Adjust thickness probe: Move the probe slightly closer to the evaporator to trigger earlier harvest.
- Reduce water flow: Ensure the water level is not above the MAX line and that the pump is not modified or replaced with a higher-flow model.
- Control board: If adjustments do not help and the unit never enters harvest, the control board may need replacement.
